Very kind and professional people. Their customers are literally dying to do business with them

I was very upset cus I couldn’t see my baby on her headstone, I went into office and talked to Santa, her concern about my baby’s headstone seemed genuine and sincere, she took my info I was informed that they was working on it the whole process, ty soooooo much Sandra for ur caring of my loved one and myself, I was very upset and she got the job done, great employee ty💙

Dreka was amazing she helped me find my wife’s Mom with no problems even though I came in at 3:55 because of the long drive she was still able to help me . Told me about programs to help out with a tombstone 🪦 she was amazing. God Bless her she’s a wonderful asset to your Company.

I just want to say Dreka was amazing with helping me find my mom. She was kind and sweet, thanks for making my day better with the flowers! LBGTQ friendly

Mount Hope Cemetery did a wonderful job in helping me select everything for my loved one. The meeting was on time. Everyone was professional. I am glad I trusted them for their services.

The lady at the desk Dreka was so helpful and very knowledgeable. She went over and beyond to help me. She got the job done. Visiting the cemetery is always hard, but even when I was sad, she made me feel a little better. Her customer service is awesome. I wish customer service was like this everywhere.

My parents are buried in a family plot in Mt Greenwood cemetery. As I live out of town, I don’t get to visit the graves as frequently as I would like to. This visit, I found the grass around the flat headstones cleared. This was the first time this had ever happened. I was so pleased. When meeting Annie, a consultant in the office, I learned that the cemetery personnel were responsible for this. I thanked them and told them how pleased I was. Also, in discussing prearrangements with Annie, I found her to be knowledgeable and most helpful. The cemetery has been acquired by the Troost organization. Kudos to this group and their employees.

I recently visited the cemetery after not living here for a long time. Unfortunately I couldn’t remember the exact location of the burial site so I went to the office and the woman there was so nice and friendly. She gave me a map with the location and had an attendant meet me there and help find the exact location. The worker was so nice and kind, he got a shovel and edged the perimeter then he cleaned it up with a broom, followed by a gallon of water and washed and dried it off. I was so grateful for that and I couldn’t thank him enough for being so kind. They do a great job there and it’s very much appreciated. Thanks go out for the staff and workers for all their help and compassion.

My Mother recently passed and I must say Gianna provided 5-star service throughout the entire process. She provided valuable input from start to finish from selecting head stone design through pricing out a plot. She even went above and beyond by putting flowers on my mom’s grave until the head stone arrives. Her hospitality, kindness, and knowledge made the entire process run so smoothly and she deserves recognition. Gianna is a top-notch professional! Thanks for making my family’s experience run smoothly during our time of need.

I called in and spoke to Sandra. She was courteous and very helpful. I needed 2 headstones lifted. She assisted me and explained what to expect. She went the extra mile and sent me the exact locations where they were. Thanks so much Sandra 🙂

Thank You So Much -Sandra For Completing My Mom Grave Site Work Order And Rising Her Head Stone. I Really Appreciate It.

Excellent customer service and support provided by both Jessica and Joel during my visit to the cemetery. Jessica was very professional in explaining which section to drive to and even showed me on an old school map the area to search. Joel helped me locate the actual grave sites and even removed a good amount of dirt and grass clippings from the headstone after he located the site. Top notch customer service here for sure! Thank you guys for all of your help and information.

Our entire family wants to thank Lincoln Memorial Park for making our recent bereavement a caring and smooth experience. With my brother being passed outside the country and the need to switch places, a dozen or more certificates and documents were required for permission to bury and burial, Genevieve and her staff spent hours upon hours with our family going over all the details tirelessly to help us out. Thank you again, Genevieve for your compassionate, meticulous and wondrous work.

Had a hard time fine a plot and Florentino Serna must of seen us walking around Looking “lost” he stopped and was nice enough to assist us in finding the plot. Thank you Florentino for taking the time to help us out it was much appreciated.

I haven't been here in years, so I called the day ahead. I spoke to Jill, an awesome lady. She went above and beyond the call of duty! Took us to the graves of my family. Here we found Carlos and Augustine, in the drizzling rain working on our family's headstones so we could take pictures....I had to cry! They were so accommodating and respectful of our loved ones! Thank you is not enough! Mt. Hope has the ultimate of awesome staff. Blessings to Jill, Carlos and Augustine. I can return to FL knowing my family is in your care! Pat Miller and Michael Miller

I've worked with Genevieve. She is patient and kind as she helps you navigate through such a rough time.

My mom is here ,wonderful stuff.

Very helpful staff and prompt replies to all questions, especially during emotional time.

The staff was very friendly and helpful especially the office staff and Florentino.

Thanks, Karen, for your patience, compassion, and professionalism. God bless you 🙏

Excellent customer service, she made a difficult experience less stressful with kind words of support and the turn around was actually quicker than expected.

Thanks for everything.

Karen was excellent in getting back with me regarding information and photos to show. No one else has shown such concern. Especially Annie who sold me the package. She was terrible in her customer service skills. Thanks Karen for getting back with me.

I greatly appreciated Ms. Gianna assistance with purchasing a headstone. She took the time to understand my needs which made the process easy. Her professionalism and customer support service is OUTSTANDING!! Ms. Gianna is an ASSET to the Mt Hope Cemetery staff!

Very clean and peaceful to bury your loved ones

Carey & Roseann were both wonderful throughout the whole process, helping our family finalize our parents' markers. The final result was beautiful & the day of our mom's interment, the whole staff was professional, making our mom's final resting place a perfect one. Thank you to all. ❤️

Cherese has been more than helpful with my family. I would recommend her serives to others. Thank you.

Nice customer service

Ginna was exceptional! Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference in selecting the perfect headstone for my mother. She guided me through every step with care, kept me informed, and handled everything with heartfelt sensitivity. Outstanding customer service—I’m deeply grateful for her support during this difficult time.

Gianna, was very patient, professional and knowledgeable. She made a difficult process manageable and I was pleased with the results.

Gianna has been such a great support and has given excellent service in my stressful time of need for my mother services. I am so forever grateful for her and Mount Hope. She has went over and beyond my expectations.

The customer service representative, Cherese was very efficient and prompt in responding while assisting me by text and email with ordering a gravestone.

I spoke with Karen and another staff member about raising my Mom's head stone. They were both very compassionate and helpful. I was very appreciative of the excellent customer service they provided.

Thank you so much Daisy from Mount Hope Cemetery, the flower decorations that was placed upon my mom's grave were beautiful!!! I Keshara Murph appreciate the pictures that were sent to me!!! Again thank you for all you and Everyone at Mount Hope Cemetery do!!!

Clarendon Hills has been great to work with and are very supportive of grieving relatives.

The lady was very polite and helpful with my request about flowers for my parents grave site.

During a difficult time of my life, Damian Lyles and Lindsey were professional, courteous and kind. They also continued to follow up and make sure my loved ones graves were cared for. I am grateful to have Clarendon Hills Cemetery in our community.

I want to thank Jessica Lazo for her help & fast service with the flowers for the graves. I've been going to this cemetery for 29+ years. I have 7 grave sites I visit & take care of with blankets & flowers & the staff has always been very kind to me. Happy Easter!

The workers at Clarendon Hills are the absolute best! From the office to the guys who work on the grounds. Want to give Jesse who works the grounds a huge thank you! Thank you for making sure my mom's headstone was perfect and thank you for the care you put into it. Mom is looking down smiling and so are we. Thank you Clarendon Hills crew. You have been like family to me.

Very dedicated service and care about each customer. Mt. Hope cemetery makes you feel like family and is very compassionate to your time of sorrow.

I accompanied my father years ago to enquire about Lincoln Memorial Park, and we bought lots at the end of our 'interview'. Since then, we have had need to lay my brother, my mother and now my father to rest. I live in the UK, but I have every confidence after father's recent funeral that their remains are all being well cared for.

I So Love Gianna What A Queen So Helpful She Care About Your Love Ones Ask For Gianna She Did A Good Job On Everything When It Came To My Husband I Just Be Calling Her Checking In On Her Family So Sweet Kind Respectful Love Her I Give Her A+🫂❤️❤️❤️

Genevieve is wonderful, she assisted us in completing dad's arrangements with patience and compassion. Her suggestions helped us tremendously. Dad had his arrangements made for many years when I called to find out what would be needed at the time of need. She reviewed his file and let us know His stone was discontinued. We were able to finalize his headstone, and it was placed in such a timely manner! Dad even got to see his stone! Thank you Genevieve for all your hard work and for making us feel like family! God Bless you!

Clarendon Hills Cemetery staff and maintenance team were incredibly supportive and patient during the entire process of interment planning from getting the grave lot confirmed to the grounds staff allowing the family to spend as much time need to complete the burial service. They went above and beyond to also guide us in the selection of the headstone and plan for it's installation. The grounds are kept clean and cared for.

Jessica Lazo was very kind and quick to respond! Thank you again!

Tenetta helped me locate my grandmother. She provided great service and hospitality.

We met with Ms. Annie Hunger to arrange for the burial of our dear mother . She was very helpful and patient with us as we asked many questions and she addressed them with patience and grace. We felt very comfortable with her and appreciate her kind help. Thank you Annie!

Annie Hunger worked with us and was so professional and kind. We are very pleased with the service we received and she comes highly recommended!!!

Linda Taylor

Ms. Annie is an amazing Family Service Counselor. She is very pleasant, professional and very kind. We truly appreciate her service during this time of need.

My family and I met with Matthew today and he was very kind and caring. He made sure everything was ready upon arrival. Losing our son is hard to deal with each day and we are grateful we have people like Matt to guide us through this process. Thanks Matt for your gentleness!

Gianna is one of those special people that I am so happy to have serviced me in my grief. She was very attentive to my feelings and concerns. She very tenderly walked me through an extremely difficult time. I am forever grateful to her ❤️ 💕 💓 💛 💗 💖 ❤️ 💕 💓 💛 💗

When my father passed away last year, I was dreading making the funeral arrangements. What started as an unnecessarily complicated and confusing process caused by others, turned out to be a comforting experience thanks to Kenn.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND:
My dad was supposed to be buried in the Muslim section of the Elm Lawn cemetery. The plots in that section are assigned by the Albanian-American Mosque Foundation in Berkeley, Ill.--not Elm Lawn Cemetery. However, when my dad died, I was told that by a manager at the Mosque that the Muslim section was totally "reserved." When my mother died years earlier, I tried to reserve the spot next to hers for my father through the mosque foundation but they told me at the time that they don't allow reservations. That wouldn't be fair, they said.

The Berkeley mosque decided to change that policy so they could reserve graves for their own large and extended family and friends ... and it did so without notifying ALL mosque members that they opened up reservations. (The plots were not all full, mind you ... just RESERVED for many people who likely would not die for another 30 to 50 years, maybe more; some of the reserved plots were for little kids who have very long lives ahead of them.)

As a result, even though we had family members buried at Elm Lawn, we were told by a mosque official that my dad would have to go to a cemetery in Lemont, Ill., to get a reduced-rate plot that is included with membership in the mosque. So I was distraught when I called the Elm Lawn Cemetery office just to see if there was anything they could do for us.

THAT'S WHEN KENN K. SAVED THE DAY!!!
I spoke with Kenn and to my surprise, he told us that they actually did have some plots available in the Muslim section. I had to pay $4K for the plot but I was relieved that we didn't have to separate my dad from his family members.

Dealing with Kenn K. was an absolute pleasure. I am not one who trusts people easily but with Kenn, I immediately felt at ease. Anyone can see that Kenn is honest, respectful, sincere and truly caring. He treated us like family. He's a wonderful person who goes the extra mile. I later ended up ordering a grave marker. He was wonderfully supportive during that whole process as well.

In early March of this year, the day the grave marker came in, Kenn had it placed in the ground and sent me a picture of it by email with a lovely encouraging note that made me smile. From start to finish, Kenn made the process as pleasant as it could possibly be. Others at the office were very nice as well. If you find yourself in need of Elm Lawn Cemetery's services, don't hesitate to call Kenn. He is a great comfort, and you will be in great hands!!!

Randi helped us everystep of the way. We are very pleased with the service and help received. It was a pleasure to work with her. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

I called today hoping to locate several family graves and Karen Diaz was amazing. She found every one and send me an email tonight. Thank you so much Karen!

Matthew was very pleasant, helpful and showed much compassion during the process. Great service.

I contacted Mt Greenwood on the hopes of finding the grave of my husband’s great grandmother. Where she was buried was a mystery but her husband was buried there so it was a guess. Barb Flynn not only found her grave she provided photos of the three family graves there along with plot location details!! We are very grateful for her care and kindness and solving a genealogical mystery for us!!

The staff at Elm Lawn are kind, compassionate, patient, and very helpful. I primarily worked with Kenn, however, when on the phone, I have also worked with other members of the staff. Kenn has helped us through this painful process and we are grateful that he has been there every step of the way. Even when we were finalizing the gravestone, Kenn would even call in Alison, one of the office ladies, and James, one of the groundskeepers, for their opinions to help us in creating the perfect memorial for our Libby.

Karen was exceptionally helpful in locating the internment location of a long lost relative. She was professional and extremely expeditious- she sent me the detailed information and map within minutes of my inquiry. Thank you!

Highly recommend. Very caring and helpful. Matthew Foster was terrific!!

Randi ( office administrator) was wonderful. Treated us so kindly and with such empathy that she made a difficult situation much easier

I’m writing this review based on my recent experience with Fairview Memorial Park Cemetery in Northlake. After the recent passing of my mother, I was treated with care compassion and respect from beginning to end. Randi walked me through the difficult and emotional process taking the time to explain details and answer all of my questions. She was professional and sensitive to the needs and wants of me and my family. Processing the loss of my mother wasn’t easy but Randi and the staff of Fairview made navigating through the arrangements very easy to do. I’m pleased with my decision to choose Fairview Memorial Park Cemetery as mom’s final resting place.

We appreciated the helpful staff. Damien Lyles in particular was outstanding. He was patient, empathetic and helped our family in a very difficult time.

The customer service is above and beyond here. I’m so happy we chose them 20 years ago and they are still extremely helpful.

Matt was very personable and helpful through the entire process!

The groundskeepers (Joel, Jesse, Francisco, and Israel) were fantastic in assisting in a quick burial. Jessica was also very helpful.

Always treated kindly any thing we have ever asked for was handled very professionally

very good thankyou

Thanks for the follow up Lindsey!

I wanted to get my great grandfather a head stone since its free through the government because he was in the Spanish America war. The people in the office are all so nice, especially Roseann LoPresti she work with the government and me with all the paperwork. And got the headstone for my great grandfather. They all did a fantastic job! Even putting the stone in the ground it looks great! Looks like their going to put new grass seed down for him to.
Thank you!
Ann

We would like to express our gratitude to Florentino (Tino). He repaired our Grandfather’s flower vase at his grave sight. It had been broken for some time. Thank you for your kindhearted employee, who so willingly accommodated us- My Father, Glenn Landgraf, and myself, on Memorial Day of this year.

My mom is here

I dealt with a wonderful woman named Jessica at Clarendon Hills Cemetery. She was very friendly and extremely helpful to us today. She went out of her way to make sure she did her best to help us. Thanks so much Jessica!

Carey Richardson is delightful to work with. She is thorough and thoughtful and has a way of making what is the worst possible situation you want to find yourself in, the very best possible situation it can be.

Clarendon Hills CemeteryWe were treated with kindness and patience by the staff especially by Damien Lyles.

The staff at Troost Cemeteries are incredibly compassionate and helped guide me every step of the way from the burial to even designing the headstone. The cemeteries themselves are beautifully maintained and so peaceful. I highly recommend Troost Cemeteries for their exceptional service and beautiful grounds.

Jessica and Lindsay were incredibly helpful with assisting myself and my mom who is deaf & hard of hearing. Incredibly compassionate ladies with the utmost patience & dedication to answering all of our questions. I really appreciate the transparency & the kindness. Grateful to have worked with them.

Francisco did an extremely wonderful job helping me. Rose Winston

I lost my mom on Tuesday 10/15/2024. Not an easy thing to go through, but I dealt with Roseann in the office. Roseann was kind, compassionate and caring. She walked me through the whole process and even went above and beyond. Her office manager Jessica also helped. Roseann and Jessica make you feel like family. They are an excellent team and appreciate everything they did for myself, my family and most of all, my ma. Thank you all at Clarendon Hills Cemetery❤️🙏😇

After dealing with Lincoln Memorial Cemetary for about 2 months, Dora was suggested to me by a grounds keeper named Ed. I am forever grateful as Dora did just what she said she would.
Thank you both, Ed and Dora. Anxiously awaiting removal of trees with branches laying across tombstones of my loved ones
Debbie Twait

Damien was very easy to work with. He answered all our questions.

When we had to put a loved one in his niche, Bob was the person that was assisting us and we couldn’t have asked for kinder, patient and empathetic person. Giving condolences and space to let us not only say our goodbyes and put him to rest and decorate his space. Thank you to all the staff there.

Excellent staff, very helpful!

This is not your ordinary cemetery, most cemeteries are creepy have you on edge etc but the vibe that it give people welcoming families visiting are nice they come over and talk to you pray for you and your loved ones . They help you with water or just simply cleaning off your loved ones one resting place. They have chairs where you sit right next to your loved one. Everyone speaks and really nice to you , even the workers there. It’s crazy you can stay and visit as long as you want etc. I never got an ill feeling or creepy fleeing or just on edge it was totally different.Muslim families are such beautiful people with a good spirit. I appreciate all those people I met while visiting. Thank you all for the love support and being friendly to myself and my family as this was a difficult and sad time for us .

Randi and all the employees there were kind and courteous and very respectful of our wishes for my mother’s funeral. If I had a question, Randi was there to answer it. She kept me posted on when the headstone was going to arrive. It arrived on my mother’s birthday, it was a perfect day! The grounds are well kept. Thank you for everything you did for us to make things run smoothly in a very rough time in our lives.
The headstone is beautiful!!

I recently worked with Randi to take care of pre need burial arrangements for some of my family members. She was very knowledgeable and showed so much compassion. These are emotionally difficult things to decide on and she showed true professionalism.

From the first time we worked with Genevieve a few years ago to prepare for my mom's needs, to her passing, and now to the completion of a grave marker, she has always been sincere, caring, and responsive. When I mentioned we would be in town from Florida on short notice, she helped get the installation of the marker done so we could see it while in town! What a blessing to work with her and the staff at Lincoln Memorial. Thank you so much for everything

While this was not a pleasurable moment for us, Roseann LoPresit made so much more easier and smooth. Roseann was not only helpful, she was empathetic and offered us so much more assistance - she made a sad time a little lighter for us. No one wants to be in the position we were, but Roseann held our hands and guided us effective and efficiently for the best outcome for our loved one. She was amazing, thank you!

I worked with their family counselor, Damien Lyles, to set up some prepaid arrangements for a dear friend. Damien understood exactly what I needed. He quickly sent the contract and helped me work through it. Easy process. He is very efficient, helpful and a joy to work with.

I worked with Matt Foster. He was wonderful to work with and made the entire process much easier. Thanks for your help, Matt.

Outstanding customer service all the way around...
Alex from Grounds & Maintenance takes pride in his work..He goes above & beyond to ensure proper care for lovely landscape & grave site tending..
Knowledgeable & friendly.
Randi in the main office/ Family Services is kind & professional.
Thank you for helping to find positivity in what can be considered overwhelming situations.

The staff at Clarendon Hills Cemetery was so helpful when I needed help turning over the vase at my dad’s gravesite. One of the groundskeepers, Jesse, immediately came to my dad’s gravesite and was able to pull the vase out of the ground. It was caked with dirt. He even offered to wash it out! Thanks Jesse!

I am writing this review as a funeral director who coordinated a burial with a graveside service at Fairview Memorial Park. I was beyond impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, as well as the quality of service they provided to the family I was serving. Pedro and Alex work so well together, it's clear that they know what they are doing. They were welcoming, accommodating, and very easy to work with. True professionals. Randi in the office was equally great--very kind, creative, and compassionate. The office facility was welcoming and nicely maintained and I appreciated the bathroom soap choices! 🙂 Everyone at this cemetery clearly takes a lot of pride in their work and truly care about what they are doing for a living. Thanks for a great experience today serving the Fox family!

Thanks ever so much to the wonderful staff at the Clarendon Hills Cemetery!

All the way from Brian the Manager, Damien the Asst. Manager and the staff - Lindsey, Kerri, Roseann and others were extremely sensitive, courteous and so helpful at the hour of need when my Mom passed away. Also, worthy of mention is the providing of the tent during the burial as it was raining cats and dogs, and it wouldn't have been possible to conduct the last rites; however, against all odds Brian was able to set up the tent too, in a timely manner. Very thankful to him & staff! The rest followed through very smoothly until the final head-stone was laid.

Again, thanks a lot and keep up the great work.

Fiorentino was EXTREMELY helpful in finding my mother’s grave. I could have been searching forever if not for him!

My cat died yesterday, and Kenn Kulpinski treated me like family. I totally recommend Elm Lawn Cemeteries.

I visited Mt Greenwood Cemetery today and met the new Admin assistant, Rinchen, he was so helpful and gracious he had everything setup for me to put my Mother and Brother in the niche my family and I was very pleased with everything. I must say that Paula, the previous admin was also just as gracious.

Jesse and Joel were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. They went above and beyond to clean off my great grandparents vase so we could put new flowers. It’s refreshing to have such kind people in a bittersweet time.

Matthew gave me excellent customer service working through selecting a headstone for my son's grave site.

Thank you very much for helping my family with choosing our cemetery plots, as well as, taking good care of our parents head stone. You have been very helpful Damian & would recommend others to check out Clarendon Hills Cemetery on Cass Ave in Darien.

finally got around to buying a cemetery plot for me and my wife. we aren't going to live forever and don't want to burden our kids when we pass. plus cemetery plots are not going to get cheaper.

we met with damien lyles and he walked us through the options available. damien carefully explained what choices we could make.

overall, a very smooth and comfortable process.

We were stumbling around looking for a grave site and Florentino stopped his truck, got out and asked if we needed help. We did and he located the grave, we’re very thankful and appreciative of his extra effort!!!

My daughter passed away in July 2024 and Fairview Memorial Park is where she’s resting.
The funeral service was exceptional and Pedro was very helpful with everything we had to do to help us get through the burial ceremony.
Randy Naccarato was also very helpful and kind, I would recommend anyone interested going to her because she will make sure that you feel comfortable in any way.
Thank you tema Fairview.

Dora Romero, Administrator Assistant was so helpful when I contacted the Lincoln Memorial Park office after the death of my sister. She provided the information I needed to complete the paperwork associated with the transition in the documents. She made a stressful task so much easier. She is kind, patient, and Knowledgeable. Thank you, Karen

Matt was very very helpful during this process. The ladies in the office were all very plead friendly. Made this is a easy situation that none of us want to deal with

Fairview Memorial Park is always so clean and peaceful. My late husband is buried there and eventually I’ll be there also. Randi in the office is ALWAYS so helpful and pleasant. She has gone out of her way for me more than once. Randi is definitely an asset to Fairview Memorial Park.

I have nothing but good things to say about Fairview. They have treated us so kindly and helped us through every step of the way in dealing with my father's death. The prices cannot be beat and the care and treatment we have received is incomparable. The park is very clean and very well maintained. We are so happy to find this location for dad's final resting place.

Francisco and Israel did a great job showing me all the different locations

I appreciate you, Randi.,Thank you so much ❤️

Visited the cemetery, and it was a serene and tranquil place. The surroundings were peaceful, and it offered a moment of reflection and contemplation. A place where one could truly appreciate the beauty of life and cherish memories.

The customer service is top tier here!!

Matthew Foster was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and kind in helping my husband and myself with some final preparations.. I would strongly recommend working with him at RiverHills Memorial Park..

My husband passed away in November 2018 and for over five years I have struggled with Fairview Memorial Park over the deplorable condition of his grave—-until late last year! Pedro and Alex, the new groundskeepers, take great pride in their work, and it has made a huge difference in the condition and appearance of the cemetery. Their attention to detail was evident as we drove to my husband’s grave already last fall, and i am pleased because my husband’s grave no longer looks neglected. Their hard work is very much appreciated. In addition to the excellent new groundskeepers, Natalie is new to the office staff at Fairview Memorial Park; I have found her to be easy to work with and very dependable. These people have made a HUGE positive difference to the cemetery and I can honestly recommend it.

Beautiful grounds, Florentino the groundskeeper help us find where we needed to be. Rose at the office was very helpful.

Matt was able to meet with us on short notice and assist in selecting a duel grave marker for our grandfather/grandmother. Very kind, thank you!

Florentino, great job. Wouldn't have found it without you.

My parents and grandparents are buried in the cemetery.

Was not able to remember exactly where when visiting last month but Florentino was able to show me the location.

Many thanks to him for his service.

Thank you Megan. You went above and beyond. Much appreciated!!!!

I needed a copy of a document right away on a Saturday and Megan went above and beyond to make sure I received it. She was pleasant and great to work with. Excellent customer service!

Florentino the Foreman provided excellent service today at the grave site.

I have several relatives buried here. It is a beautiful cemetery and has a very peaceful setting. The young lady in the office was friendly and knowledgeable. She gave me a printout of the cemetery and pointed us to Florentino who was extremely helpful in helping me locate each family member since they are spread out. Thank you again

The memorial park is very clean and well maintained. The ladies in the office are easy to work with especially Randi ! I have my late wife’s grave there and just recently I purchased a plot next to her for my mother in law . When we go through tough times loosing loved ones is good to have someone that cares . God bless the entire team there ! Adrian

Thank you, Matthew and Darlene for all you did to help make everything work smoothly for the Peterson Family. You all went above and beyond to help us during this difficult time.<3

My family had a wonderful experience with Randi during a very difficult time. We had to take of 2 burials that had quite a few issues....Randi kept me and my brothers informed along the way while handling everything.

Florentino and his fellow worker were so helpful during our visit to Clarendon Hills cemetery. My family plot is in the back. To get to it requires walking up a slight incline after exiting the car
My father is 98 and my husband is handicapped and require wheelchairs. Florentino and friend graciously and respectfully assisted us to and from the the graves. Thank you so much to Florentino and his fellow worker!

My wife and I went to Clarendon Hills Cemetery. We didn’t know how to begin preparing for us to be buried in an existing family plot. Lindsay was more helpful than we could have imagined. She understands what we wanted and helped us make preparations for us eventually being at Clarendon Hills Cemetery. Thanks for making a difficult decision easier.

My mother and I are really thankful for the wonderful service that Damien provided when we needed to set up a burial plot for my father. He was patient, thorough, and organized throughout the difficult process.

Thank you to Randi, Pedro, Rene at Fairview Memorial Park for all your help and assistance. We very thankful for the wonderful work that your team provided. After we were upset because our son’s headstone had become damaged, the team stepped up and immediately fixed it. Randi, Pedro, and Rene are truly helpful and we appreciate what you’ve been able to do for us.

Elm Lawn Memorial Park provided an exceptionally compassionate and professional service during a profoundly difficult time as I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog of 16 years. A standout mention must go to Kenn, who went above and beyond to ensure that the burial was exactly as I wished, demonstrating not only professionalism but a genuine understanding and empathy for my situation. The care and attention to detail made my final farewell to my dog not just a mourning of loss but a beautiful send-off. I am deeply grateful to Elm Lawn Memorial Park and Kenn for making such a painful moment as peaceful and beautiful as it could possibly be.

One of the hardest decisions to make is where to bury a loved one. Fortunately for my family and I, we have an opportunity to research and review several places. Fairview is by far the best option available and the customer service provided by the staff is outstanding. While the cost can be somewhat unexpected there are a variety of options. The peaceful setting of trees and green grass make this a great choice for my mom and stepdad's final resting place. If you are able to don't wait until it's too late, plan ahead.

I called to ask some questions about Flowers for a grave site.
Maria answered my questions & went above & beyond & helped me.
Thanks again Maria!

Staff, especially Genevieve, made such an unpleasant situation more bearable. I appreciate the love and care shown us during our time of bereavement. Thank you, Lincoln Memorial Park!

My father used to love the tranquility, beauty and peace that parks exude. These are primary reasons why I personally chose burial for my loving father at Fairview Memorial Park. However, I also realize that the professionalism and customer care by which the staff affords is just as important. Every time I visit my father’s grave site I always look around to absorb the wonderful environment as it’s just so relaxing. I know my father is happy. Please visit Fairview Memorial as I am certain it will make a great option for your loved one when the time arrives.

Overall this cemetery has been a blessing to my family that have resided there, but I’m mainly upset with the fact that they remove decorations that were place for loved ones!!! I can understand if it caused problems to lawn maintenance, but at the same time it really doesn’t because I always place it right by their headstone. So is it really that hard to just remove it and place it back after done with lawn maintenance care? No, I don’t think so! That is the only thing that agitates me about this cemetery. People want their loved ones flourished especially after their time is done on this earth. Like the least we can do for them is put decor to make them standout and what not. But yall staff members have to ruin it. Change your policies!!!! Thank you!

The staff there are professional and caring. I worked with Wanda, not only did she assisted me with mom's interment. She also assisted me with a replacement grave marker through the VA for my dad. She was very pleasant person to work with.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the extraordinary support I received from Kenn Kulpinski. In my quest to find my father's grave, he went above and beyond, showcasing an unparalleled level of compassion and dedication.

Not only was Kenn incredibly prompt in responding to my inquiry, he also captured and shared pictures of the site, made this experience exceptionally meaningful for me. It marked the first time I laid eyes on my father's resting place.

Kenn's kindness and willingness to help in such a personal matter truly touched my heart. His actions reflect a level of empathy and commitment to customer service that is truly rare to find. In times when sensitivity matters the most, he demonstrated genuine care and understanding, making a significant impact on my experience.

Thank you, Kenn, for going beyond expectations!

The loss of a loved one is never easy. I highly recommend Genevieve as a contact point. She has made all the decisions easier and was very organized. I feel that she helped us honor our loved one and helped our family through the grieving process.

My grandmother has been peacefully resting at Lincoln Memorial since 1992 and by circumstances by son noe lays beside her and the caring and kind service given by Mrs. Genevieve and her staff is exemplary and they are always nothing but a phone call away for any questions and concerns and as I know they take care of more than just me the service is intimate and makes me feel like I'm the only concern. Thank you

It’s an emotional smack in the face when you find yourself in this situation, especially when my Dad was there with me and knowing where the journey will start. Randi Naccarato took her time explaining the numbers and options for both of my parents. Randi understood that the process is not an easy process and will take her time.

Thank you Randi!

Special thanks to the groundskeepers Pedro y Alex for their amazing job cleaning the park and making sure our loved ones resting place looks beautiful.

Genevieve was the RIGHT person to help me when I needed the most help getting the preparations for my brother. I can not thank enough those helpful she was and friendly and understandable to all my needs. Thank you GENEVIEVE !!!

Genevieve was a delight to work with! She arranged her schedule to accommodate my work schedule, was knowledgeable, caring, and professional during a difficult time in my life. Thank you, Gen!

Really great people , who help you through a tuff time in your life , make the process easy , very nice people to work with

Over the years I have worked closely with Genevieve Bon from the funerals of my own parents, to helping others prepare a final place for their loved ones. The services provided have been taken care of with the utmost respect and compassion. No question is silly, no request is dismissed. Genevieve takes care of each family as if they were her own. The other staff is helpful and kind. Thank you for providing the comfort needed at a difficult time.

Genevieve Bon, representative for Lincoln Park was my contact person. She was incredibly helpful during the darkest days of my life. Genevieve listened carefully, made thoughtful suggestions, and was empathetic. She developed a beautiful design for the headstone. Genevieve has the perfect personality for her position. I highly recommend Genevieve and Lincoln Memorial.

I put my trust into Fairview and they didn't disappoint. So many options to choose, but Randi walked me through it, and we selected a package that was right for mom. I was so happy to find someone that was a straight shooter and that cared how my siblings and I were feeling. I would recommend Fairview for it's beautiful, and well kept grounds, and especially the warm hearted staff.
Thank you!

Matthew was a great help and very empathetic gentleman in helping me with this difficult task in this difficult time.

I have many relatives laided to rest there, it's a beautiful place.

Ms. Bon is fantastic! Even through all the sadness she is very comforting and helped with all arrangements. Always very understanding of me and my families needs. If I need services she will definitely be my contact. Thank you Ms Bon!

I was able to visit the gravesite for my Grandfather, Great Grandfather and other past members of my family that were buried over the last 100 years. it is a great moment as an adult to reflect on my family and my history and the legacy they have left. Lincoln Memorial was a special place for me to visit and I appreciate Cynthia, the grounds crew and everyone that keeps the cemetery as a beautiful place to come and pay respects to those that came before me.
Thank you for all you do!!

Genevieve Bon directs the Lincoln Memorial Park cemetery in Aurora Illinois.
My wife and I have known Genevieve for her professionalism, care and concern for our family and many other families coming to her to experience the grounds, seek pre planning needs, and in times of sorrow find solace for their loved ones burial. She
is a valued guide for families needing assistance for their loved ones. Thank you Genevieve.

I want to thank the team for making my father’s burial a smooth experience. Be patient with the monument as it will take 4 plus months. Great conversations whenever we had to go into the office for admin stuff. Friendly, and kind staff that will make you feel like family. Highly recommended place to lay rest your loved ones.

Thank you Wanda for your desire to get every detail correct. Everything was perfect. Thank you Alison for your assistance. Exceptional Customer service.

Genevieve was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. I recommend Lincoln Memorial Park to handle all of your end-of-life needs.

Randi has been AWESOME in answering questions and dealing with very difficult decisions. She was patient, kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a asset to the company/ cemetery..My Family members are all buried here .Thank You for making it easier to make a decision.

They are extremely helpful and kind. I can't say enough good things about them. They are all the best.

Everyone at Lincoln Memorial Park was very caring and compassionate. My family and I felt comforted and in good hands.

I had a very pleasant experience working with Genevieve Bon on arranging for the burial of my husband recently. She was very patient in answering my questions and guiding me with suggestions on what I needed to be aware of with financial matters. She is very passionate about helping others especially in times of stress and loss.

I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Darlene in regard's to a request I needed about one of my family members that are buried there. She was so kind, helpful and informative! I learned I can call in the spring and have flower baskets put out for my 3 Aunts and Grandfather since I no longer live there! That made me so very happy to be able to still bring a little joy to my family even through them! Name how many places care THAT much? I can’t in this day and age. Thank you so much for caring for my loved ones and being so helpful in my questions. Wonderful people!

I would like to acknowledge Genevive Bon in her help to me and my family over the years. She has been a huge help to my own needs in funeral planning! Keep up the great work Gen. All my family members are buried at Lincoln Park Cemetery and we are pleased with their work & Sympathy 💐

Roseann and the staff at Parkholm helped me resolve a problem with my Dad's headstone. They couldn't have been kinder and more helpful in resolving a years long problem. Thank you!

We had a lot of changes due to family coming from out of town and Darlene and staff we always very professional and kind.

I wanted to place a Veteran plaque for my father at his grave. I live out of state so they made the creation and placement complete from a distance. Excellent results. Shout out to Maria who made it possible. Thank you!

Thank you Fairview Memorial Park + Staff!!! You all made things so much easier to get through with all of your help, love and support shown at such a difficult season in our lives! Everything went exceptionally well with my Dad's burial. The grounds are ALWAYS kept so nice and neat and it's such a beautiful and serene experience each time my brother and I go to visit our Dad's gravesite. I want to send a special THANK YOU to Randi!!! She was so patient, kind and encouraging throughout the process of creating my Dad's grave marker - She kept in touch and communicated so well and answered ALL of my questions and concerns. The grave marker was ordered and installed when promised. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Blessings to you all - The Givens Family

Fairview is one of Northlakes hidden gems. Unlike other cemeteries it does not have that haunted feel to it because the monuments have started crumbling and fading throughout the years. Since they only allow lawn level markers it has the serenity of a well manicured golf course than a cemetery. The improvements they have made in the last few years like removing all that brush in the front has only added to my number of stars. Furthermore the staff is genuinely friendly and makes you feel like a part of the family. I have never been there without receiving a warm greeting!

I have recently worked with Alison on my mother’s burial and she was so kind and helpful. Today, I spoke with Wanda to order winter decorations for multiple family graves and she too was so wonderful to discuss the different orders. Thank you for having such a nice and caring staff!

So I went to the cemetery today to remove flowers before the Halloween deadline.
I have to compliment the staff as well as the groundskeepers who do a fantastic job keeping up ALL graves, including the forgotten ones.
Dead trees have been removed, the lawn is fantastic, and when my mom's copper vase was stolen (had happened at many surrounding cemeteries)
It was replaced by the cemetery.
The management appears different from when I buried my mom a decade ago, but it's all for the good.
I can't say enough about this small community cemetery.

I had questions about what could be left as decorations, which I saw the online description, but still had questions. They’re email response was timely and informative. I really appreciated that opportunity to communicate when they were able, instead of being another phone call.

Good park to walk.

MOM Rest In Peace

Quiet, well kept, older cemetery with easy access just next to the highway.

I have generations of family members in this cemetery. I'm not able to visit frequently, but I appreciate that they'll put flowers on the graves for me for a reasonable price. It's a nice service they offer. The staff are very helpful, and this is a beautiful place for my loved ones. Thank you for all you do.

I appreciate the staff at Arlington/Elm Lawn for allowing me to prearrange my burial with my family!! This means a lot to me!! Also for letting me to duplicate my Great Grandma's stone so my head stone can look like hers!! I appreciate everything and everyone 🙂 I am at ease knowing that one day I will be laid to rest there at Arlington alongside my Great Grandma, Uncle, and Great Great Grandparents!!!!

Very loving people ❤️

I changed location pin to entrance of cemetery, they keep up on the grounds, if you want to talk to someone have to go to the building west of the cemetery called Elm lawn

My beautiful angel

My father passed away and being an only child, all of the planning was on me. I was so confused and lost as to what to do and how to plan. But George made the process extremely easy and was helpful. My father was a Navy vet and George went to all extents (Honor Guard and live Buglers) to make the day so impactful for the whole family.

We had our plot next to my husband, Richard's, parents and sister. George helped us match our Memorial Marker with theirs. We live in Iowa now, so George walked us through the procedure our children will use to bring us back to our final resting place. He was not only helpful and understanding but also very kind.

Tricia Parris is an angel she not only met but exceeded all of my expectations, from making changes to my parents headstones to surprising me with an early installation I can't find enough words to thank her!!!

Office was very helpful. Reasonably easy to locate the graves. For such an old cemetery it was decently kept.

Most beautiful cemetery on the South Side

My Grandparents did purchase their family plot in the early 1960's at River Hills Memorial Park.Since then my parents and Aunts and uncles has purchase their family plots too. Over the years we are all please with care and up keep of the cemetery . With my recent purchase for my self I am so impress with the care and support from the office.George and Karen has shown me professional service.Thanks again !!!

Well kept.Like it but the only thing is the hours. They close early by the time my son gets out of work is closed.

George helped me through all the process for my mom. He was very kind and a great person

With some much grief it was hard to think about picking out a memorial plaque for our mother. George made it easy and was very patient. Because of the restrictions due to covid we did everything through email. In less then 24 hours everything was chosen and ordered. I can say how much I appreciate all his help. River hills also was very helpful is the burial. They let us bury her with the dignity she deserved, while following covid restrictions. Thank you again

My mother been there going on 11 year’s

We lost my brother unexpectedly and George helped us not only give my brother a beautiful home, but also recommended an amazing funeral home. His kindness and understanding helped lift a weight off my mother’s shoulders as she struggle to grieve while needing to make arrangements. And for that, I am forever grateful.

Cemetery is well kept, staff is very friendly

Muslim cemetery too

Very beautiful and respectful memorial park.

I lost two pets back to back 2 years ago and been meaning to write a review about the wonderful staff at Elmlawn . Wanda is THE absolute best !!!! Donna is absolutely wonderful as well! Mary is lovely ! I seriously don’t know what I would have done without Wanda’s help ! I was so much in shock and grief but she made all the arrangements and took care of everything!!! Both my pets were buried next to each other and she made that possible as well. She helped me every step along the way and also in picking the headstones . I’m beyond grateful to her always and forever !!! I hope she plans to be there for long long time !!!! We’re actually friends now lol 🙂 Suji

Many of my family members are there and 2 yrs ago I placed my mom there and they were so helpful since I have never had to deal with arraignments myself and they walked me through everything step by step.

I want to extend praise to Karen at River Hills. She has exhibited so much patience and understanding throughout all of my repetitive questions. Her timely and thorough responses were appreciated, and she never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. What a wonderful and caring staff!

Great staff

Run relatively efficiently. The office staff are reasonably professional and helpful. Call ahead for the best experience, because the office can get crowded sometimes.

Love this place. It ain't perfect but its nice. Use to work here 15 years ago and have many family and friends buried here. Being Ruben back!

Recommend this cementary 👌🤗 I lost my mother unexpectedly and George helped me pick out the best marker for her it was a very difficult time he made it easier was very patient with me thank you George I hope you understand how much your kindness made the world normal again thanks again

Could go here every day.

The folks at River Hills are the best! Very professional and so helpful during such a difficult time. Thank you to everyone, especially Karen and George. I am so grateful for people like you.

Just an all around beautiful experience. George and staff went above and beyond in more ways than one and I am eternally grateful.
I have no doubt that my father WILL rest in eternal peace in River Hills Memorial Park.

Jennifer Cohrs-Babb

Very peaceful

We lost our son a year ago and I hope no one has to go through what we went through but if you do, please know that River Hills Memorial is an amazing place. It is beautiful and a very peaceful area! The people are so warm, compassionate and helpful through, during a even after a difficult time. I will forever be grateful to George for everything he did for me and my family. He will always have a special place in our hearts. He made our decision easy so we could focus on what was important which was to mourn our son. Please know you will not be disappointed with River Hills Memorial.

The staff was simply amazing. I really appreciated how I was in search of a stone for my grandson, George listed and put together a stone that was amazing but that was within my budget. I'm truly happy for the service I received and the final product of the stone that will be placed on my grandson grave. I would recommend River Hills Memorial to anyone that has a loved one at the cemetery.

Staff friendly and helpful.

My family is here. .. Ive moved but I go see them as often as possible

Well maintained clean cemetery. My father was buried here in 1982. Located close to the highways. A lot is bought by Islamic Foundation of Villa Park for Muslim burial. After my father died in 1982 arrangement was made through them. Their chief Brother Hamid Dogar helped us to wash our father's body and following all the Islamic ritual for proper burial and required prayers. My fathers grave is in Section 13A, Lot B, Grave 8. Please pray for him. I called the Cemetery Office who agreed to lay flower on my fathers grave on Fathers Day as I am away and send me the bill for future such arrangements..
